How come in fc4 someone decided to shrink the text area, change the
colors, and surround it by a colored box? More often than not I can't
use my virutal text terminals. How do I disable this? This is on my
compaq 730us laptop.

"text terminal" = Konsole, Gnome Terminal, Xterm, RxVt... which one?

"decided to shrink" = Is this a complaint with the default size?

"surrounded it by a colored box" = Is this the window frame you are
describing?

It would probably be easy to answer your question, but I'm having
trouble understanding your choice of words. The answer would depend on
which desktop or window manager you are using. If that means nothing to
you, then perhaps you simply login and take what comes; that would be
GNOME. Putting a colored frame around the terminal emulator is how
things work in the Linux GUI. Care to try again describing your problem?
